11th Annual Predator International 10-Ball Championship
One of the longest running tournaments in pool will return to Asia on September 15 - 18, 2011 with the 11th installment of the Predator International 10-Ball Championship. Predator's premiere event is produced by Dragon Promotions and will take place at Robinson's Galleria Mall in Manila, Philippines. The field will host 96 world class players including defending champion Efren Reyes, a living legend in the game. The Predator International 10-Ball Championship is the very first event The Predator Group ever sponsored starting a decade ago.
"After last year's smashing success, we were thrilled that Dragon Promotions was keeping the event in the Philippines. Each year the event grows and more people are attracted to playing, watching, and following the Predator Championship. It's become one of the great events in billiards and a tradition that we intend to nurture for a long time", said John Forrester, Chairman of The Predator Group.
